Marc Fogel, an American schoolteacher who had been held in Russia since 2021, arrived back on U.S. soil late Tuesday night after the White House announced earlier in the day it had negotiated his release.

A Russian citizen was released as part of an exchange involving American teacher Marc Fogel and will return to Russia soon, the Kremlin said.

Alexander Vinnik will also leave behind $100 million dollars worth of digital assets in the United States as part of the deal to free him, a U.S. official told NBC News.
